| | Branford Marsalis Trio |
| | Marsalis' new release holds the answer — from the first moments of invocation in the title track to the angular bebop of "Schott Happens," this is Branford at his improvisational best. | | | Marsalis also gives props to his contemporaries — fellow saxophonists Joe Lovano and Kenny Garrett each sit in on a tune, bringing their own signature improvisational styles to the table. | | | The tight interplay between Marsalis and Watts is often reminiscent of the Coltrane-Elvin Jones alchemy in the mid-'60s. |

| | Subsequent releases by Wynton, Branford, Ellis and trombonist-composer-producer Delfeayo are littered with cameo appearances by other members of New Orleans' first family of jazz. | | | Branford's warm soprano saxophone explorations on "Maria," from West Side Story, are as gentle and unselfconsciously assured a performance as he's ever recorded. | | | He seems to delight in the criss-crossing overtones that emanate from the piano without removing himself far from a song's melody throughout his six solo performances on the disc. |

| | Branford Marsalis Quartet: Eternal - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Composed by Branford Marsalis, the title track is by far the longest at nearly 18 minutes, and also the most up-to-the-minute in style. | | | Actually, the opening track on this CD is not so different from the sort of thing Sidney Bechet would play, with the drummer performing a tom-tom effect somewhere between mambo and Kasbah. | | | Suffice it to say that if anybody needed to forgive Branford Marsalis for wandering far from any jazz mainstream -- I am saying nothing about the merits of his different sorties in a variety of directions -- this CD would help them greatly. |

| | The album - maybe Marsalis' best since 1991's "The Beautiful Ones Are Not Yet Born'' - sounds liberating, as if Marsalis has put behind him his less-than-satisfying "Tonight Show'' experience. | | | With bassist Reginald Veal (adequate) and drummer Jeff "Tain'' Watts (kinetic), Marsalis seems determined to make the most adventurous, free-wheeling improvisational modern-jazz that he's capable of. | | | Though the music swings straight ahead (except for a pair of ballad-like songs), this is no be-bop session - there are no standards or jazz classics. |
